iA Writer

Still the best app to write notes.

I used google docs for my personal notes until one day I had shoddy internet and realized how awful it is to lose access to something important that you wrote down. I now use iA Writer which allows you to save your notes in markdown from iPhone, syncs via iCloud, and then I can continue from my laptop. Admittedly the native Notes app has some better functionality around sharing and searching. However, Notes saves into a SQLite db, which would be fine, but it’s not trivial to view the tables/sch

All the newly added functionality about linking documents together and hashtags and stuff make it up to a really robust personal writing archive. Well done and thank you! Also the fonts are ❤️

I like the fact that it is not a subscription-based application, while providing a very simple and care-free interface for composing text. In many other apps, their auto-complete features can get in your way. Here, the feature is most often useful, and much less frequently a distraction.

I love it like cake.
